Apple Pay Glitch Charges Some Bank of America Users Twice

People eager to turn their phones into wallets have found that it can cost more to be an early adopter.

Some Bank of America credit- and debit-card users have been charged twice for the same purchase when they use Apple Pay, Apple’s new mobile-payment system that debuted Monday.

The bank says about 1,000 transactions have been affected, and it is reversing the duplicate charges. “We apologize for the inconvenience and are correcting this immediately,” said Bank of America spokeswoman Tara Burke.
